Default Using a motorcycle muffler on the Integra

Anyone used a motorcycle muffler on the Integra?
What kind of sound can be expected just by replacing the existing muffler with a motorcycle muffler? I am sure one can pickup a used motor cycle muffler pretty cheap.

btw, forget about this if its a stupid question. Thanks

I did it on my 1988 integra. I got a 2001 CBR600 muffler for 20 buck; real stainless steel construction, straight thru design. Don't get cheap after market stuff like yoshimura they are design to last about 2 years before you have to repack the sound deadening material; stock is design to last the lifetime of the motorcycle ie minimum of 5+ years. At idle and part throttle the sound is quite like stock, but at full throttle the resonance from the correct design make the car sound like a liter bike at full throttle. My car has over 225K on it but when it pull to 100mph and the sound comming from the rear make for a fun & thrilling ride. Go try it but remember get the factory muffler from a GSXR1000 or R1.

You know they already installing Haybusa motor into kit car. Super7Cars, up in Canada, builds a Super 7 in left hand drive powered by a Hayabusa engine with lots of available options, including turbo and intercooler.
Performance? Well how's 0-60 in 3.78 with roof, spare wheel, tools. All I'm saying there is all kind of posibilities out there. If you don't try it you never know. My exhaust was cheap, work well and did not look like anyone else and that is what hot rodding is all about. Not look like anyone else!!

wow lame. i can not even believe people would think about doing this. you might as well put a 6in exhaUst off a tractor trailer if your going to do this to "look different" or how about a 1.2in exhaust offa 50cc scooter.

and btw you have no idea what your talking about with motorcycles. "a stock exhaust is supposed the last the length of a bike, 5 years." what the hell are you trying to say that bikes only last 5 years. if thats the case in what you think keep your ignorant posts to yourself.

You must be so naive to think durable goods ie: cars, motorcycle, washing machine are designed to last more than 5 years. From a manufacturer point of view, where is the economic sense to make something last forever. Who is going to buy the new model if the old model still work great? Where is the repeat business going to come from?? Read the fine details of your warranty my friend and make your own oppinion!!!

Your not going to sell a product or get repeat buyers from products that fail in a short amount of time. A car should def last more than 5 years as well as a motorcycle. If a car manufacture made cars that broke down after 5 years see how long that company stays in business. Yes I know they are out for profit and money but you wont make it selling junk products as after a few years you have no reputation and no one will buy your product. How do you think honda toyota and a few other companies built their name...one of the main reasons was reliability.
I had a 1992 honda cbr it was 12 years old when i had it, you think honda was pissed it lasted that long. hell no, you know why? because of that fact I turned around and bought a new honda motorcycle because of the great experience and reliability the bike had. if i had problems or if it broke down alot i would of taken my business elsewhere.

Did you say that you bought the cbr back in 1992 new?? Or is it you meant that that you recently bought a 12 year old bike that was lucky enough not to be used up in its designed life span. Your bike probably was just a weekend bike that barely get any milage. If you research messenger bikes and taxi car, they only last for 5 years. These are the people that really used the vehicle like how they were meant to be used rain or shine. They really put milage into their bike and not only for weekend trip. Oem want people to buy their stuff new, used it up like how it was designed to be used then turn around and buy their new model. They don't like people who buy used item because their are no direct benefit for them; no direct profit, no real customer loyalty. People who buy used is only looking for the cheapest deal possible. If your 12 year old bike would have broken down 2 weeks after you bought it, would you have a good opinion of Honda? Hell no! You probably be bad mouthing honda unreliability and not realizing its a used bike and may have live past it designed life span. OEM want new customer to become repeat customer

dont motorcycle exhausts have like a 1.5" ID? I'm not a rocket scientist or anything, but this is either going to restrict your exhaust flow, or just sound like total crap......hey, you might get lucky and have both!
